Actress Suing Omar Epps For Allegedly Breaking Her Arm During An Action Scene Gone Wrong

Omar Epps did an action scene with an older actress back in 2016 and she claims he went off script and she ended up with a broken arm.

According to TMZ, Donzaleigh Abernathy — who was 59 at the time of the reported incident — recently filed a lawsuit against Omar Epps and Paramount Pictures for negligence and assault and battery.

She says Epps “completely deviated from the script” and “threw his left forearm with full force at [her] right arm” in May 2016 while they were filming for the USA show “Shooter.” According to legal docs, she claims he broke her arm and injured her back by dropping her on the floor.
